Re: Give Me A Break
Sounds to me like you just always want to get in that one last shot, no matter what it's about. I forgive you though, you can't help it. Thanks for adding nothing to the discussion.
2 thumbs up! |

Sounds to me that you're unhappy you're not getting an unrebutted soap-box to project your own perspective. If you really want that, you really want to get a blog; it's not what a discussion forum is for. |

I'm not interested in arguing with anyone over more off-topic issues. People keep trying to compare Apples and Oranges here, and then insist that's why the results end up with Watermelons. |

If you want to argue with me, at least argue against something I actually said. |

This whole topic has been derailed. Care to offer evidence of what a 1MB file actually costs an ISP? |

Yeah, yeah. When you fail to support your allegations, just result to insults.
Sorry, but your claims of $100 a meg are proven hogwash. Even your concession of maybe $20 a meg is still completely off, and you know it. Under your pricing, every ISP, even dialup, would of been bankrupted long ago.
So throw out some more insults, I don't care. Just admit it, you have no idea what it really costs to transfer a meg of traffic... but I'm sure you'll insist otherwise.

I feel like I am talking to a 3 year old. Some concepts like this may be to advanced for Krk to understand. While I wouldn't care to speculate which is the case, if either, keep in mind that it is as likely, if not more likely, for someone to deliberately refuse to acknowledge something than to not understand it. |

There is a relationship between peak traffic and traffic, especially on the local level. |

Then there's no problem, as there's no need to go to pay-by-byte billing. |

"Meg transfered" is not what dictates the cost of a network. An analogy would be how wide you build a highway. You don't build it for how many cars pass over it a day, you build it for how many at rush hour.
300Gb at 1Meg / second cost less than 300Gb at 6 Meg / second for 1/6th of the time. One has to build the infrastructure and pay the costs to sustain the 6Mb. Networks are built for peek usage, not total consumption. |

You're still talking about charging based of line capacity, however, not what transferring 1meg actually costs. And even $20 a meg is way, way too much. |
